Just as all good things must end, so, too, do most indifferent things and it is that vein in which Moseley complete their 2012-13 Championship season at home to Bedford Blues tomorrow.

For Moseley’s part the match, the 22nd and final outing of a side that has grown to become more than the sum of its parts but which has experienced mental fatigue of late, is a dead rubber.

Unusually it is their opponents who arrive with something to play for as Bedford look for the victory that would confirm the play-off spot that seems to have been theirs all season only to have been jeopardised of late.

Following Wednesday’s night’s surprisingly difficult win over Doncaster, the visitors are currently four points ahead of fifth-placed Bristol, who must go to champions-elect Newcastle. They should make the cut.

Nevertheless, Kevin Maggs wants his Moseley side to be desperate to stop them doing so with a second win in four days – particularly since he wants the Red and Blacks to end a frustrating season on a high.

“We want to win and finish above Plymouth,” the head coach said. “And our supporters will expect us to do our best, and rightly so, because they’ve been fantastic for us this season.”

The same cannot be said in reverse. It took Moseley more than two months to ‘reward’ their followers with a home victory and four to do so in the league.

A final-day upset against one of their bogey-sides might just compensate for recent near misses against Leeds and London Scottish in which Mose have shown signs of returning to their old slipshod ways.

Dodgy set-pieces, more huffing puff than accuracy and defensive errors. In short, not what they dished up in January, February and March which helped make this weekend’s match a nicety and not a necessity.

Maggs will hope his men apply themselves more than they did in similar circumstances on the final day last year when they went to Plymouth and shipped 54 points.

“The difference is we are at home,” he added. “There’s still a lot in this for Bedford but for us it’s about finishing on a high.”

Which is why there might be some selectoral curve-balls. While Sam Dickinson is back at Northampton, fellow Saint Paul Diggin is finally available, having trained last night. Youngster Caolan Ryan could also come into the squad.
